defaultStatus Property

---

Sets or retrieves the default message displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

Syntax

HTML	N/A
Scripting	window.defaultStatus [ = sMessage ]

Possible Values

sMessage

String that specifies the message for the status bar.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

Do not confuse defaultStatus with status. The status property reflects a priority or transient message in the status bar, such as the message that appears when an onmouseover event occurs over an anchor.
